With micro-electronics invading every facet of our lives as consumers and also acting as a driving force in multiple industries for automation, scheduling and much more, knowledge and expertise in them will go a long way in ensuring optimal performance. And now the technology and information to master them are available on a more accessible plane for students.
The National Instruments - Data Acquisition using LabView workshop conducted by National Instruments in association with Pragyan, NIT Trichy aims to enlighten its participants by introducing them to LabView, a Graphic Design Program with a simple UI and versatile controls, to aid them in understanding the basics of electronics theory, to interfacing with other hardware components for measuring complex signals and much more.
The following will be covered as part of the workshop:
- Introduction to Graphical System Design (GSD)
